Nutition Question Please
On 5/6/2004 7:03 PM, Bob Newman wrote:
After being a diabetic for 25+ years (currently diet/exercise controlled) and a recent open-heart surgery patient, I have been following my diet VERY strictly. My question is this: All the recommendations I see are for less than 30% of calories from fat, a minimum is never mentioned. I know you do required some fat though. I have been running low to mid teens fat percentage with some days in single digits. Is this okay? Where do we draw the line? Any input would be greatly appreciated. I'm not sure that tons of research has been done on this, although I believe the Ornish diet is quite low in fat (please feel free to correct me if I am off base on that). Here's a link that you may find to be helpful: How Low Fat Can You Go? http://my.webmd.com/content/article/24/1728_57712.htm?lastselectedguid={5FE84E90-BC77-4056-A91C-9531713CA348} -- jmk in NC |
